Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva if you're new too!
When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

You're what?

[spacebro]

...Trying.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ That trips her up a bit... I mean, he did just show up here, and it must be tremendously demoralizing for people he recognizes to not recognize him, but he could just be trying to manipulate her... ]

How do you know us?

[spacebro]

[We're friends.] You found me and my ship when it crashed. You've been teaching me about Earth and training me.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, about that. Where did you come from? How'd you survive Daxam?

[spacebro]

[There's a long pause. Too much emotion or reconsidering the story he tells? The audience may never know. When he does speak he gives the same answer he did when he met her. After all, he did just meet her again.]

I was a palace guard for the royal family. Debris was falling on the planet and I was trying to protect the prince. We saw a Kryptonian pod still intact. I got in to program it for him, and he locked me in saying he wanted me to go while he stayed with his people.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, that's—

I'm sorry. About Daxam, and my reaction. No one deserves their welcoming committee to act like I've been acting.

[spacebro]

[He shakes his head, feeling if nothing else he probably does deserve it.] It's okay. This is a surprise for you too. It's not like I don't remember how things were when we met. [He just didn't think he'd be revisiting it to the same degree. At least not without messing things up first.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, that makes one of us.

Do you have questions?

[spacebro]

Yeah.

About space prison? A few. It sounds like you have more questions about me too.

[takingkarabusiness]

We can get to those later, probably. But ask away. I've been here for like 10 months.

[spacebro]

I just saw you. How have you been here for 10 months? And from the past.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't know. Some kind of reverse pocket dimension? That's the best I can come up with.

[spacebro]

I guess we're the last people who should be doubting that time and space can do whatever they want.

[takingkarabusiness]

You're telling me. I remember more than Winn does, and you remember more than the both of us.

We're the only ones from our particular world and dimension, though a friend here, Cisco, is friends with one of my friends who actually found his way between our dimensions at home.

[spacebro]

So, you haven't seen your sister or your other friends in ten months? [He looks concerned for her sake.]

[takingkarabusiness]

No, I haven't.

But I have a ton of new friends here. Everyone's pretty great.

[spacebro]

[Nodding.] You know, I didn't really want her to get abducted. Or Winn.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, good, because that would be a conversation you don't want to have.

On the other hand, I kind of wish she'd show up here.

[spacebro]

Wouldn't you rather just get back to National City?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, yeah, but if I have to be here...

Plus there are a lot of people here I like, like I said.

[spacebro]

Right. People you like. Like a boyfriend? [That is the term Winn would approve of, isn't it?]

[takingkarabusiness]

Not that it's any of your business, but no.

[spacebro]

Winn mentioned he had one. A girlfriend one, not a boyfriend one. [Definitely the only reason it was on his mind.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, he and Kitty are a pretty solid item.
